(I've made a deal with myself to stop limiting what I put here. If it stays in my mind long enough, or, conversely, if it feels like the sort of thought that will fly away again if I don't pin it down, I shall blog it up)

The very essence of a God-filled life is to be seen and felt and infectious in it's very nature. When it fills you to overflowing it can't be helped. It gets out. And people notice (whether they like it or not). It's not something you control. It's a light. A city upon a hill. And within that God-filled-ness means coping when times are tough.

To be honest, I love being discontented. A good kind of discontented, where you're glad with what God has given you, but you want more. It makes you yearn more. Be more desperate. So I find it weird sometimes when people say that their bleakness and loneliness or their stuff is getting in the way of God. Okay, it's true, half the time it's stuff that you can't change or can't change simply in that moment. But there are times where all you need in that situation is that little bit of God.

You see, bleakness and desperation? Best time to go to God. Take that whole load of issues you're struggling with, place it at the altars, say 'this is too much for me God, You help me fix it', then you stay as He helps you through. It's the best time. I'm not kidding, it's the best time. Take that to God, and prepare for miracles.

SIMPLIFIED FORMULA:

BLEAKNESS + TROUBLES + PROBLEMS + MOUNTAINS + STRUGGLES + EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IS WRONG = PAIN + SUCKINESS

BLEAKNESS + TROUBLES + PROBLEMS + MOUNTAINS + STRUGGLES + EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IS WRONG + GOD = MIRACLES + JOY



ME < ENOUGH

GOD > ENOUGH

Spending the whole day in church is actually loads of fun :D
